I'm after my first quality multi meter. I'm thinking preferably one with a clamp function on it.

I'm not bothered about brand as I have no real experience (although my fluke voltage tester failed just after 12 months)

Which one I choose will be based on price, functions, reliability and warranty offered.

What suggestions??
 
Thing is I don't want to be carrying loads of different tools around with me. I will most likely be starting a new role based around maintenance so I'll be carrying a backpack around. Space will be limited. What's the difference between a clamp meter and the meters with the cut out? Assume it does the same thing just different style?
 
Some fluke multimeters have a clamp accessory that you can buy as an addition, i get more use out of my multimeter than my clamp meter. Just leave it in the van if your hard on space.
 
Clamp meter measures high current as well as standard voltage / resistance etc.
Take a look at the Amprobe 220 EUR, excellent bit of kit & not heavy to carry. Best thing I've put in my service bag in a long while.
